We are excited that you are interested in joining us for Family Weekend, September 5-6, 2025.

Please help us celebrate Crunk’s birthday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. We will have fun activities, cupcakes, and enough Cru spirit for the whole family to enjoy. If you want to bring Crunk a gift, please donate Easy Mac to The Source, UMHB’s on-campus food pantry for students. As an added bonus this year, we will have a behind-the-scenes tour of Crusader Stadium. Following the party, stay to enjoy our first home football game of the 2025 season.

We hope you will make plans to return to campus and join us for Homecoming 2025.

Cru Kids! Join UMHB’s Football team, the Sader Belles, Cru Cheer, and Crunk at 12:00 p.m. for fifteen minutes of fun on Fredenburg Field! Cru Kids will have a chance to run out of the tunnel, play catch, and get high-fives and pictures from UMHB athletes. The event is a Cru Kids exclusive, so make sure your Cru Kids have their T-shirt or Cru Kid ID to participate. Cru Kids will also have their own Check-In station during the first half of the Homecoming football game, but you must show your Cru Kid ID.

UMHB’s College of Visual and Performing Arts is excited to offer Cru Kids a behind-the-scenes tour of the Sue & Frank Mayborn Performing Arts Center on the night of the fall production of Hansel and Gretel. We will meet at the stage door, and you will see the set and costumes and even meet some of the actors. RSVP for tickets and you can stay for the performance, which starts at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are limited, so reserve yours today.

Help us celebrate UMHB’s history and the signing of our Charter with a fun afternoon of exploring the UMHB story. The museum will be open from 2:00 p.m. -3:30 p.m. and will host stations that include a scavenger hunt, interactive exhibits, crafts, and Crunilla.

Cru Kids are invited to spread a little kindness to UMHB students participating in the annual Easter Pageant. We aim to give a handwritten note to each student and will need 300 cards. Download our card templates, create your own, and return them to the alumni office by March 20. Join us on Monday, March 30, at 4:30 p.m. to help pass them out to the cast. This is a small way for all of us to spread some kindness.

Join us at the McClinton Family Recreation Center for The Hangout! This will be a fun night with our Student Foundation students and campus rec staff as we get to see what it is like to be a college student for the night. We will have pizza, games, and the rec courts will be available for open play.
